In the Loop

In the Loop is a British Political Satire based of the BBC Program The Thick of It. It follows a rather harmless and clueless Minister in the Parliament. After misstating in an interview that he sees war in the middle east as "unforeseeable," he is quickly used as a pawn in international politics.

I have never seen, or even heard of The Thick of It. Thanks to In the Loop I plan on spending some time with the television program. One of the greatest characters is Malcolm Tucker, a raging Scottish Spin Doctor who's profanity filled tirades leave you astonished as the offensiveness of his language. I may have been a bit bias since Peter Capaldi was excellent in this last season of Torchwood and Doctor Who.

This is a hilarious movie that is oozing with wit and charm. It does an excellent job at playing up just how flawed the humans who run this world are.
